OxBlue Increases Its Arsenal of Mobile Apps with a New App for Android Devices

OxBlue has launched an application for clients who use Android smartphones and tablets. This new app joins OxBlue’s already existing iPhone app and mobile site to expand access to a greater number of their construction camera users, who are often on the move and not at their computers.

A Proud Sponsor of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta

OxBlue staff and clients spent a day at the ballpark this past May to support Children’sSM Healthcare of Atlanta, one of the largest providers of specialized pediatric clinical care in the country. The not-for-profit organization depends heavily on charitable support to carry out its mission of “making kids all better,” and the annual Kauffman Tire Spring Classic, established in 2002, is one of its biggest fundraising events.

Two New Partnerships for Better Project Management

This past spring we were pleased to announce two new strategic partnerships: one with Procore Technologies, a leader in cloud-based management software for the construction industry, and another with Lucernex Technologies, a leader in cloud-based integrated workplace management systems for the retail industry. Each new partner’s offerings supports and complements our own mission very well, namely to improve construction project management and communication.

OxBlue Receives Prestigious Best and Brightest Award Third Year Running

OxBlue is once again recognized as one of the 101 Best and Brightest™ Companies to Work For in Atlanta, a distinction reserved for organizations whose workplace environments cultivate employee enrichment and satisfaction. This 2014 recognition marks the third year in a row for the construction webcam service provider.

“As an innovator in the construction camera industry, our workplace has to be structured enough to provide great service, but flexible enough to encourage creativity and initiative-taking which drives growth. So, it’s truly an honor to be recognized for providing an environment that serves our team members well.” —Chandler McCormack, CEO of OxBlue

Customer Kudos

“The camera offers up an incredible amount of documentation. It captures and organizes photos in a way that we couldn’t do ourselves. There are so many things you want to see – what you did historically, for example – and the camera allows you to do that. It gives us a means of viewing and understanding the project that we just couldn’t get any other way.” — Jason H., Brackett Builders

“I’m able to review crew production to see how things progressed. There is a tremendous amount of logistics on concrete pour days, and OxBlue allows us to ensure we are set up for success.” —Andrew R., Lithko Contracting

OxBlue Introduced the Next Generation in Construction Camera Interfaces

It’s not just a new interface. It’s a whole new experience.

We were very pleased to announce the release of our next-generation construction camera interface in April. The new system gives clients faster, easier access to the functions they use most, with more intelligent, intuitive controls.

So, it’s truly an honor to be recognized for providing an environment that serves our team members well.” —Chandler McCormack, CEO of OxBlue

The basic premise behind the redesign is that busy users don’t want just to view their job sites. They want to experience them. So, the new interface offers bigger, better job site photos and makes accessing them easier than ever, in most cases through one-touch function controls.
